Would this type of boat be able to be fit out for bream...?

[Golden Monk]

Hi, as some of you may or may not be aware that I am looking at buying a boat in the next few months.

Now, would it be possible to fit something like the Stacer 480 Seahorse for breaming, I like the bigger boats for some reason and am thinking if I can buy the larger open boat and then perhaps rig it out later on with the breaming/bass type gear like a livewell and platforms etc.

Also when buying these types of boats are you able to say cut out a rectangular hole in one of the seats and fit a live well in there?


http://www.stacer.com.au/main.asp and the stacer 480 Seahorse...or even if anyone would be wiling to look at the boats on there and recommend one for around that same price range that you feel would be a better option from them...the reason I am looking at them is they have the "ready to go packages"

Cheers! and Thanks in Advance

Daniel, the seahorse 480 looks like a fairly solid hull although i wouldnt recommend it for bream work. Youll notice the anchor well extends a fair way back and this will effectively reduce the size of the front platform.
Im actually in the process of buyin a boat also and im probably going to buy a bare stacer proline 420 and fit that out.
I can get the bare hull for around $2,200. Ill team it up with a 40hp yamaha 2 stroke and after adding the electric motor sounder ect and all the fitting out it comes in around the 10g mark.
In fact if your interested in the proline fishing monthly done a review on one fitted out in their december mag last yr. Looked very impressive.
Heres my pricelist
hull = $2,200
motor = $4000
trailer $1,250
Electric motor = $1500
Modifications = no price as yet although relatively cheap and a bit of time and elbow grease.

Ill be adding a side console to the boat as well as a pretti snazzy deck setup. If you shop around and get th best price on each component you can make a damn fine bream boat for around the $10K mark mate.
